Under which account does the MID server operate?

The MID server operates under the Local Admin account. This is essential because the MID server must have sufficient permissions to access the resources it needs to discover and communicate with devices within the network. The Local Admin account ensures that the MID server can execute commands and gather data across various systems and applications effectively.

This account type is crucial for enabling the MID server to perform its role while maintaining security protocols, as it allows necessary access without granting more elevated privileges than needed, which could pose security risks. In contrast, the other account options, such as Service account, Network Admin account, and Domain Admin account, might provide different levels of access that are not typically needed for the general operations of the MID server or could introduce unnecessary security vulnerabilities.
